Residents can volunteer to enforce laws on accessible parking
Tuesday, July 16, 2024 by Beth Bond
Through the city’s Accessible Parking Enforcement Program, volunteers can issue citations and warnings for illegally parked vehicles in designated accessible parking spaces. In partnership with the Police Department, the Transportation and Public Works Department provides training so that residents can raise awareness about accessible parking and help ensure it’s available for people who need it most. To become a deputized volunteer, applicants must:
- Be 18 years of age or older
- Be a U.S. citizen
- Pass an initial background check
- Possess a photo ID
- Complete training
- Abide by the program’s policies
- Volunteer at least 12 hours a year
The next available training sessions have been shifted to Sunday and Monday and will be held on July 21 and 22. To learn more and apply, click here.
